Frontmatter -- TABLE OF CONTENTS -- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -- INTRODUCTION -- CHAPTER 1. THE FUTŪḤ AL-SHĀM NARRATIVE IN ARABIC MANUSCRIPTS -- CHAPTER 2. THE FUTŪḤ AL-SHĀM NARRATIVE IN MUSLIM AND CHRISTIAN LITERATURE -- CHAPTER 3. A HISTORY OF AZDĪ-OLOGY -- EPILOGUE. AL-AZDĪ, THE COMPILER-AUTHOR OF THE FUTŪḤ AL-SHĀM NARRATIVE? -- BIBLIOGRAPHY -- INDEX
Summary: The Futūḥ al-Shām (The Conquests of Greater Syria), usually attributed to Abū Ismāʿīl Muḥammad b. ʿAbdallāh al-Azdī al-Baṣrī, is one of the primary sources used for historians studying the early Muslim expansion into Greater Syria. This study revaluates the Futūḥ al-Shām narrative and the question of its compiler-author, investigating the history of the narrative as text through an analysis of a new manuscript and important parallel texts, and revisiting the evidence and hypotheses previous scholars have put forward on both al-Azdī’s life and the Futūḥ al-Shām narrative’s text. It thus offers an overview of the history of Oriental and Islamic Studies on the basis of one work.
